Curtis, I used Theo's personal tach in my Tiger with the MSD6AL as a 
test bed.  It worked great, so I and Joe Parlanti, sent our tachs to 
Theo to convert.  

Theo used our tachs design to do further testing, so that it would work 
with all types of ignition.  That includes conventional points, 
Pertronics, MSD, and Jacob's.  

Joe and I now have out tach back from Theo, and although Joe's car is 
still in resto, my new tach works great.

Finally a modern tach mechanism that is accurate, in my Tiger.

Thanks Theo.

Larry

PS - I also put another tach in the hole for a while, but didn't look 
right, and never though it was accurate.
